Answer:
Mary Sherry in her essay "In Praise Of The F Word," compares the results in students those who fear flunking and those who don't.
Explanation:
Mary Sherry teaches in adult-literacy programs. She has written essays on educational problems for newspapers. In 1991, she wrote an essay which was published in Newsweek, talking about -that the threat of flunking is a "positive teaching tool." According to her having a "healthy fear of failure" is important in children.
In her essay "In Praise Of The F Word" she compares how a child with the fear of flunking studies and excels than the one who is not. She shares one instance that happened with her son in high-school. Her son's teacher warns her that if her son continues to sit and talk in the class she would flunk him. She understands the importance of fear of flunking and told her son that his teacher had told to flunk him if he don't study. From that day English became a priority in her son's life and he finished his semester with an A. She says in her essay that most student gets a degree without even knowing how they got it. She continues that for such students we excuse their dishonest behavior by saying that they can't learn if they come from a terrible environment. She says, "No one seems to stop to think that -no matter what environments they come from - most kids don't put school first on their list unless they perceive something is at stake. They would rather be sailing." If students will not have a haelthy fear of failure then they will not take their studies as priorities and this will be a kind of cheating on themselves and the employers who will be hiring them.
Answer:
The second choice
Explanation:
The second choice is the correct answer.
The correct answer is Chaucer criticizes the notion that divine forgiveness
depends on giving money.
Explanation:
In this excerpt from The Canterbury Tales, the author Geoffrey Chaucer indirectly refers to the sale of indulgence or the way priests and other religious leaders pardoned people for their sins based on money. This is mentioned in "My holy pardon here can save you all... as you make offerings of gold and silver coin..." because he illustrates how money or offerings were a condition for forgiveness and for people to go to heaven "you shall enter to the bliss of heaven". Moreover, this is a satire because Chaucer uses humor to criticize the practices of the Catholic church.
